"In this collection of Essays, written over the span of 40 years, efforts are made to suspend the imposing strictures of my scientific and scholarly discipline which often call upon us to be rigorous and dispassionate in our exploration of societal problems. By freeing myself from such exacting demands, I could write more engagingly and, hence, in more vivid and graphic prose. Though the collection is discursive, it is, hopefully, more intuitive and readable. At the least, it is less taxing to the sensibilities of the ordinary reader"

In a structured and clear fashion, Mohammad Hashim Kamali discusses topics ranging from juristic disagreement to independent reasoning. Also broaching more advanced topics such as the principle of legality and the role and place of Shari'ah-oriented policy. Kamali questions whether Islam is as much of a law-based religion as it has often been made out to be. Complete with a bibliography and glossary, and both a general index and an index of Arabic quotations, this wide-ranging exploration will prove an indispensable resource for students and scholars, and an informative guide to a complex topic for the general reader.
